Dash and Lily's Book of Dares
by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn.
He hates Christmas. She loves Christmas. He finds a mysterious note book in his favourite bookshop, she dares him to come looking for her - the mysterious, goofy Lily. A book about falling in love, or maybe not falling in love. So good.
Burnt Snow
by Van Badham
You might think you've read this story before; girl reluctantly moves to small town and meets the bad boy but trust me, there's much more to this solid, paranormal story set right here in Australia.
Six Impossible Things
by Fiona Wood
One of the best YA books I've read all year. Fourteen year-old Dan Cereill is such a good character; he's a little like Woody Allen (but more loveable). A great story about longing, fitting in and realising fitting in is overrated.
And here are two titles I'm hoping to get to very soon:
Confessions of the Sullivan Sisters
by Natalie Standiford
"The Sullivan sisters have a big problem. On Christmas Day their rich and imperious grand-mother gathers the family and announces that she will soon die... and has cut the entire family out of her will."
and
Matched by Ally Condie
''On her seventeenth birthday, Cassia meets her match. Society dictates he is her perfect partner for life. Except he's not.
